The Mormons were in Utah because they were driven out of Missouri and Ohio.
President Buchanan had declared the Mormons enemies of the United States earlier in 1857 and started the Utah War.
What are your answers to the questions you asked me?

“The Mormons were in Utah because they were driven out of Missouri and Ohio”
You got the easy one, now for the second question:
Why did the people in Mountain Meadows see the wagon train something to fear?

Start here,
Members of the militia entered the shop and found 10-year-old Sardius Smith, 7-year-old Alma Smith (sons of Amanda Barnes Smith), and 9-year-old Charles Merrick hiding under the blacksmith’s bellows. Alma and Charles were shot (Charles later died), and a militia man known as “Glaze, of Carroll county”, killed Sardius when he “put his musket against Sardius’s skull and blew off the top of his head.”[24] Later, a William Reynolds would justify the killing by saying, “Nits will make lice, and if he had lived he would have become a Mormon.

WRONG!
That's what SLC wants you to believe.
A portion of the Mormons left; another bunch stayed.
The ones who stayed were not subjected to any bad things later.
The ones who had a spirit of fear and fled, buried many on the arduous trip west.

Stay behind and live longer!
Bashore worked with a team of actuarial scientists at Brigham Young University to analyze 56,000 pioneer records from 1847-1868. Of these 56,000, there were an estimated 1,900 people who died either on the plains or within the calendar year of their arrival. That is about a 3.5 percent mortality rate, whereas a national comparison group in 1850 experienced an annual mortality rate between 2.5 percent and 2.9 percent.
